Be Safe, Don't Drink And Drive!
Author: Nancy7
Driving under the influence or DUI as it is commonly known, can be a serious safety hazard on the roads anywhere in the world today. Accidents will no doubt happen if a person who is driving a vehicle has been drinking or taking drugs and is not one hundred per cent "compos mentis". Being under the influence of drink at the wheel of a vehicle can be compared to a blind person taking the controls of a jumbo jet or someone swimming through murky waters, so not a good idea to say the least.
Too much drinking often causes over-confidence which sometimes results in irresponsible people taking the wheel, not only putting themselves at risk but other road users also, including pedestrians. Traffic police, speed cameras and members of the public should all be seen as deterrents to anyone thinking about having a drink and then driving, however some people never learn.
If a person is either intoxicated or drunk they are a definite danger and have a greater risk of having a crash, injuring themselves or others which could result in death. There are many penalties for drink drivers such as suspending or taking driver licenses away, the confiscation of number plates, impounding the vehicle, heavy fines, or even jail sentences. None of these would be welcome to any driver, so it is imperative to stay sober whilst sitting behind the wheel of a any vehicle.
It can be quite amusing to watch on television someone who has been stopped for drink driving seeing them try to walk a "straight line" but in actual fact it is extremely dangerous to imbibe, if planning to drive home. Breathalyzers are a useful tool for police to use to test these menaces on the road but sometimes they can malfunction, making the whole operation a bit of a sham.
Taking drugs might seem to be cool but the mixture of taking them, then driving can be lethal, your senses are on a different planet and the whole world seems crazy, so taking your car out is a definite no-no.
There are many ways to save lives on the fast, modern roads of today, therefore staying away from drinking and driving is one of the main ones. Roads are being constantly improved with better lighting, good signposts and safe speed notices, so it is up to every individual to do their best, keep themselves safe while respecting the lives of others. So for your own protection, don't drink and drive - make sure you travel with someone who is stone cold sober or leave the car at home.

Depends upon the jurisdiction but generally you’ll see either DUI, driving under the influence (which can also mean drugs) and/or DWI (driving while intoxicated).
I had some trouble with the police regarding drink driving and I need all your help and information?
I had some trouble with the police regarding drink driving and I need all your help and information.?
After having a couple of drinks with my friend, we decided to head to the casino for some luck. Outside the casino, it’s a one-way lane but I got there through a shortcut using the opposite direction.
In the casino, I was approached by the police as they realised that my vehicle was parked the opposite way. They took my breath test and took me to the station for further tests. For the first test, the reading was 61 while the second one was unsuccessful as I tried to fake it. So they had no choice but to take my blood test around 3 hours later. Another 1-2 hours later, they took my breath test and it measured 25 and they decided to let me go but I had to return after a month later for my blood test results.
May I know what should I do now? I really regret now for my stupid mistake. Hope everyone can give me some suggestions and what are the punishments for it? Thanks!
How can I find information about a drunk driving death that occured in the 1970s?
I recently found out that my father was involved in a drunk driving accident in the 1970s in which he was the driver, that resulted in the death of his fiancee. I know my father is a recovered alcoholic but this was news to me, and I don’t want to press him on it. Is there any way to find information about such an accident online? The Omaha-World Herald doesn’t seem to keep records dating back that far. I don’t think he was charged in the accident so I don’t think he has a criminal record either.

No, you never had trouble with the police, they had trouble with you.
You tried to “fake” the test?? hopefully your blood with prove you were over the limit and you will be charged and banned.
Minimum ban 12 months. and a fine, probably around 5-600 pounds.
